the world kinda sucks at this time

it didn't hit me when i heard the news. after all there was no point of identification then. i couldn't put a face to the person but i found out later. i knew her vaguely through my brother. and my mind went into a whirl imagining what she went through. the last moments before giving in. sure i understand death. it's pretty complicated and it will come to all eventually. there is old age there are diseases and there's the unexplainable. if i hadn't lived my life so cluelessly i would have been equally fixated on that ideology. besides the tinge of melancholy that came with a heavy heart there was also anger and more... anguish and torn. at the sudden fragility of human life. anguish and incomprehension. at why a path was chosen. anguish and saddened. at why death has to be feared when life was given. anguish and bitter. at why this fear could be used as a stake. this is what i can't forgive. why your god has to watch over things like this and still be intolerant to others like him. why blind faith is the new saviour to lost souls and yet we still proclaim salvation. why the tragic use of destruction to bring your message across. i can't begin to understand it all even if you let me. because don't they always say. he has a plan for us by his grace. and who am i to question. i am no more than mere mortal.

There is no faith that will dare to promise smooth sailing life...
There is no faith that promises immortality...
There's always an end-point to everything, it's either now or later...no one knows whether yours is now or mine is later...
What's more important i believe is still in the journey itself...and how much our life has mattered to others irregardless of the duration...
it's always the quality that we ought to be more concerned with rather than the quantity i feel...
I take comfort knowing He was with her throughout the whole ordeal and that she's safe in His arms now...
